Covering the Corc

Grab a copy of today's City Paper and check out my cover story on the Corcoran Gallery of Art, will you? It's about Modernism, staffing, the board of trustees, the state of the building, and future programming—roughly, a survey of the institution's fortunes following the resignation of David Levy and appointment of Paul Greenhalgh. If these names don't mean anything to you, read on.

In the same issue you'll find a feature review of two exhibits—the Wpa's 2007 "Options" and "Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution"—both of which are ongoing. Feel free to compare notes in the comments.

I'll be back with more later, but right now Wrecky and I are going to go indulge in a spa and pedicure day. That's how I'm framing it, anyway; point of fact, I'm taking him to the Laundro-Mutt to give him the hose, and on the way he will resist by barking, snapping, pulling, running if he can make a go for it, and eventually falling totally limp in protest. At which point he's eighty pounds dead weight.
